Eusebius of Caesarea, tr. Gifford, 1903

Book 15, 41. Which is the Right and Which the Left Side of the World

‘PYTHAGORAS, Plato, Aristotle: the right parts of the world are the eastern, from which the motion begins, and the left are the western.

‘Empedocles: the right is the region of the summer solstice, and the left the region of the winter solstice.’
